Microsoft and Apple turns it out.

For a few minutes on Monday, Microsoft Apple became the listed company. At 1:05 ET, Apple's market value of $ 812.60 billion fell below Microsoft's $ 812.93 billion, allowing Redmond, Washington-based tech giant to rip the world's most valuable company name from Cupertino.

According to Bloomberg, "The last time Microsoft was larger than Apple based on market value was in mid 2010."

In August, Apple made history as it became the first ever. However, Apple's time was on the trillion-dollar mark. The Apple stock has declined since November after weaker than expected demand for the company's newest line of iPhones and a quarterly earnings call where Apple announced that they will no longer disclose sales figures for iPhone, iPad and Mac. 19659011] Https% 3a% 2f% 2fblueprint api production.s3.amazonaws.com% 2fuploads% 2fvideo uploaders% 2fdistribution thumb% 2fimage% 2f86938% 2f3bd8560b f85d 4dbb 8a15 46ffa427d877 "src =" https://i.amz.mshcdn.com/ njbYr-qu6cSD28dpBVt0UeIpnRg = / https% 3A% 2F% 2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com% 2Fuploads% 2Fvideo_uploaders% 2Fdistribution_thumb% 2Fimage% 2F86938% 2F3bd8560b-f85d-4dbb-8a15-46ffa427d877.jpg "data fragment =" m! b83e "data-image =" https://i.amz.mshcdn.com/njbYr-qu6cSD28dpBVt0UeIpnRg=/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fvideo_uploaders%2Fdistribution_thumb% 2F3bd8560b-f85d-4dbb-8a15-46ffa427d877.jpg "data-micro =" 1 "/>
